'Now, what did you say?' The man asked. Ginny stared at him for a second.
'How do I know I can trust you?' She asked again.
'Don't you remember?' The man behind asked. She jumped and turned to
Look at him.
'What do you want with me?' Ginny asked. She knew it was a stupid
Question. The guy frowned.
'Why doesn't she remember us Murtagh?' The frowning man asked.
Ginny's heart stopped. Murtagh? She thought to herself before saying the name aloud. It cannot be. Is this the people I have been thinking of the past years?
'You do remember!' He said excitedly. Ginny shook her head. He frowned
Again.
'But how do you know my name then?' He asked. Ginny thought for a
Second. Should she tell them? About her remembering names of people she
Had never met? She decided she would have gone.
'I have remembered the names of two people ever sense I was four.' She
Said. 'But I do not know who they belong too. The names are Murtagh and
Eragon.' She finished. The guys face broke out into a grin.
'That's us Ginny.' he said kneeling down to her.
'Who are us?' She huffed in frustration.
'How does she not remember us?' The man named Eragon asked with the
Same frustrated voice Ginny had used. The man named Murtagh sighed.
'She was four when we sent her away, Seth.' He said in a tired voice
Pinching the bridge of his nose. Ginny saw her chance and jumped to her
Feet. She sprinted in the direction of the house.
'Ginny!' She heard one of the men yell after her. She sprinted into the house
And through the kitchen. She ran to her grandmother's sitting room and
Found her sitting a chair by the fireplace. She looked up at her.
'When I call for you, I expect an answer.' Her
Grandmother scolded as Ginny caught her breath.
'I was just outside a-and these men came and-'
Her grandmother put a hand up, silencing her.
'I do not want lies.' She said. Ginny looked at her.
'I was just almost kidnapped!' She said angrily.
Her grandmother looked at her in shock before her expression changed to
Anger.
'Don't you dare raise your voice at me? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Go to your room!' She said in her loudest voice.
'Grandmother did you not-' her grandmother raised her hand again.
'No more. Now leave.' She said and Ginny knew it was hopeless. So she
Hissed angrily and stomped out of the room and up the stairs. She made her
Way to her room slammed the door behind her. She went to her bed and laid
There thinking about the strange men. She began to feel scared and she
Looked over at the window. It was dark and it had begun to rain heavily.
Lightening flashed and she went over to pull the curtains closed before
Lying down on her bed and falling asleep. She woke up hours later when a
Hand slapped over her mouth and she looked up into the face of Eragon.
She tried to scream but she was in shock she could not even move. Eragon
Looked down at her apologetically and she just stared.
'Are you gonna scream?' He asked. She shook her head and he removed his
Hand.
'Help-' Ginny tried to scream but her voice came out in a whisper. Eragon put
His hand over her mouth. Looked at Ginny and she glared.
'Ginny I'm sorry. But we have to do this.' Eragon said in a strained voice. He
Reached into his pocket and pulled out a rag. He stuffed it in her mouth and
Grabbed her wrists. She began to kick and she was able to kick him in the
Stomach. He grunted but grabbed at her feet.
'Ginny I'm not going to hurt you.' He whispered to her.
'You're kidnapping me!' She said through the rag. He didn't answer and
Instead picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. She grunted as she
Was slung like a sack and began calling him every name she could think of.
If only the words were not coming out like grunts. He went to the window
And Ginny struggled harder when she realized what the crazy man was about
To do. He held her tighter as he put one foot out the open window and sat on
The window seal before slinging his other leg out and they were falling.
Ginny screamed but instead of a sickening snap like a leg being broken
There was
A slight jolt and thud that happened as soon as they were out of the
Window. She opened her eyes and screamed again when saw they were not
On the ground but on something big and scaly.
'Ginny, its okay.' Eragon said from behind her. She screamed again when a
Thing looked back at her. It was big and had big shiny eyes that were a
Glowing red. She could not take any more and she felt her stomach drop as
Her eyesight died and she was lost in a world of darkness. Ginny squinted up at a blue sky peaking through thick tree branches. She
Groaned when she noticed Eragon and Murtagh kneeling beside her looking Worried
'Why won't you two just leave me alone?' She hissed. They looked relieved
When she spoke.
'How do you feel?' Murtagh asked. She glared at him.
'Do you mean how do I feel about being kidnapped cause as far as being?
Hurt I'm fine.' She said sarcastically. Murtagh sighed.
'I'm sorry, Ginny. However, what else were we supposed to do? We need you.' He
Said.
'For what?' Ginny exclaimed.
'The mission.' Eragon answered calmly. Ginny hissed through her teeth.
'What mission?' She spat. Eragon shook his head in frustration.
'I knew this was most likely going to happen.' Dominick said.
'Well… we might not want to tell her here or else she will probably run. So
Lets just take her home and we can explain things to her.' Murtagh answered and Eragon nodded.
'Wait! This is me you two crazy people are talking about!' Ginny screamed
'I am NOT going anywhere with you!' She stated as she stood to her feet.
She tried to run towards the forest but Eragon grabbed her around the waist
And stopped her. She spun around in a roar of fury and swung her fists at
Him. Eragon easily grabbed her hands and pinned them to her sides. Murtagh
Came up behind him and. Ginny screamed when she saw his eyes. Instead of
Being kind and sympathetic, they were angry. He walked behind her and grabbed her arms and Eragon let go of them. Ginny struggled
And yelled every curse she knew at him. Eragon grabbed her legs and he and
Murtagh carried her back where they had been. Somehow, Ginny found her
Hands and feet tied together.
'You are coming with us.' Murtagh said angrily. 'I don't care if you hate
Us the rest of your life.' He sat down next to her.
'You know Murtagh?' Eragon began, "I don't think we can carry around a tied
Up girl.' He said frowning.
'We are not going to carry her around tied up.' He said. He put his arm
Under her back and the other behind her knees and lifted her
Up.
'Now where are you taking me?' She asked. Murtagh looked down at her.
'If I answer that you will get mad.' He said. Murtagh carried Ginny for a
While before they came to a clearing where a black car sat. Eragon walked
Forward and opened the door and, Murtagh sat Ginny inside before untying
Her binds as Eragon got into the front seat. Murtagh got into the drivers seat
That is when Ginny realized that the car was parked on a dirt road.
'You might as well sleep. We're going to be driving for a while.' Murtagh
Told her.
'I'm not going to anything you say.' Ginny hissed. Murtagh chuckled.
'Ok.' Was all he said? It wasn't till Ginny's eyes began to droop and she fell
Asleep.
A few hours later, she woke up. It was dark outside and she wondered where
They were. She noticed that the car was stopped and she looked up front to
See no one else was in the car. She looked out her window and saw a
Log cabin. Then her door opened and Eragon looked at her and smiled.
'Sleep well?' He asked cheerfully. Ginny glared and crossed her arms.
'Ok if that's the way you want to be.' Seth said with a smile. 'Come on.' He
Said jerking his head back towards a cabin, the door was opened.
Ginny cocked an eyebrow.
'Do you really think I'm going with you?' She asked Eragon groaned and
Threw her over his shoulders. She struggled but he would not let her go until
They were inside the cabin. He dropped her on a twin-sized bed. She hissed at
He and he chuckled before walking away.
'Why can't you just let me go?' She asked anger strong in her words.
Murtagh came and stood in front of her.
'We can't.' He said. Ginny cursed, Murtagh's eyebrows shot up, and he
Shook his head.
'You are only fifteen Ginny. Don't say that again.' He ordered. Ginny
Smirked.
'And why should I listen to you?' She said slowly. Murtagh rolled his eyes.
'Because I am your older brother and you do as I say.' He stated and she
Rolled her eyes then smirked and said the worst cures she could think.
'Ginny!' Eragon said in shock as he came up behind Murtagh whose eyes
Were shooting lasers at Ginny who only laughed.
'We can spank you.' Murtagh said with a smirk.
'Yeah right!' Ginny scoffed. Murtagh rose and eyebrow and smirked.
'You don't think we can?' He asked. Ginny crossed her arms and pointed
Her nose in the air. Murtagh looked over at Eragon whose face looked amused. He looked over at Murtagh and then they both smiled before moving
Forward and grabbing Ginny.
'Ok! OK!' She screamed. They stopped. She crossed her arms and frowned. Murtagh laughed. She glared over at him and Eragon laughed.
'What is so funny?' She hissed.
'Your acting the way you used to.' Murtagh said. Ginny closed her eyes and groaned.
'Ok. Fine. Do not believe us. But you will soon enough.' Eragon said. Ginny got up from the bed and looked around the room. There was a stone fireplace over on the other side and there were two doors. She guessed one to be the door that led outside. The other she hoped was a bathroom.
'It's over there.' Eragon said pointing at one of the doors. Ginny frowned.
'Huh?' She said. Eragon smiled and pointed over to the door closest to her.
'The bathroom. It's there.' He said slowly.
'How did you know what I was looking for?' She asked. Eragon smiled.
'It's been seven hours since we took you so it's not hard to guess.' He said with a chuckle. Ginny's cheeks flamed as she moved towards the door he had motioned too. She walked in and stood in front of the mirror. Ugh! She thought when she saw her tear smeared face and her hair that looked like a haystack. She began to comb her hair with her fingers but it only made it worse.
'There's a brush under the sink if you need it.' Eragon called from the other side of the door. Ginny looked at the door startled. What. The. Crap! Ginny thought. She heard Eragon and Murtagh laugh. What are they? Mind readers? She asked herself. Then she looked out the window.
Fear struck Ginny hard and she screamed. The door burst open and Eragon and Murtagh stumbled in. Ginny screamed and backed up against the wall.
'Don't come near me!' Ginny squeaked. Eragon rolled his eyes. Murtagh looked worried.
"What's wrong Ginny?" He asked. She pointed to the window where a huge eye was looking in.
